Abstract

Train drivers often exposed to whole-body vibrations (WBV) during their daily operations, which may contribute to various musculoskeletal issues, including neck pain. This study aimed to evaluate the whole-body vibration level exposure among train drivers using a Human Vibration Meter SV106D and SV38V triaxial seat-type disk accelerometer, determine the prevalence of neck pain symptoms and the association between whole-body vibration exposure and self-reported neck pain.
